Subject: That's CHEVROLET for All You Boycotters Out There!
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: *****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: *****.
Subject: Turtles! Traffic! Tees! Tough Conditions! Torture!
The first snippet is probably the most questionable 'story' ever captured by these reels. The capture of a live sea turtle. This is really hard to watch. It's then tied to the roof of a car to go to market. Thankfully, the snippet doesn't go 'Cannibal Holocaust' on us (I refuse to elaborate)
Next is a feature about the transport of traffic horses to their destination via a special vehicle. Nothing too special.
Next up is a truly funny segment which probably shouldnt be tried at home. A trick golfer takes shots off a car, a MOVING car, a models toe, and um, shoots balls directly at the models.
The Dust bowl of texas is featured next, probably to tone things down. The miracles of water drilling is discussed. Moving on..
CAT FIGHTS!! The last segment is pointless, but it's sure bizarre as 2 cats TOTALLY slug it out w(with mittens), Why? Who knows. Dogs are seen as reporters and as spectators. Ah, those Chev jokers!
Great stories, a new eye catching design and good music round this out, this is highly reccomended!
